流れ
How It Works
Seven steps from a Japanese auction floor to your Hawaiʻi driveway. You relax — we're on it.
STEP 1 ご相談
You tell us what you want
Browse our inventory or start a custom order. A small deposit secures your vehicle or your sourcing spot — then we get to work.

STEP 2 オークション
We hit the auction floor
In person, in Nagoya. We read the auction sheets in Japanese, crawl under the vehicle, start the engine, and only bid when it's right.

STEP 3 書類手続き
We handle all paperwork
Export certificate, deregistration, certified translations, customs documentation — done for you, correctly, the first time.

STEP 4 太平洋横断
Across the Pacific
Your vehicle rolls onto a RoRo vessel in Japan and sails direct to Honolulu. We track it the whole way.

STEP 5 通関
Customs cleared
A licensed Honolulu customs broker handles entry, duty and CBP. 25+ year vehicles enter under the federal exemption.

STEP 6 登録完了
Registered & road ready
Hawaiʻi title, safety inspection, plates. When you get the keys, it's already legal and ready to drive.

STEP 7 納車
Delivered to your driveway
We bring it to you. Beach run, farm run, town run — she's all yours, brah.

Total time: about 10–14 weeks door to door
| Phase | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Sourcing & auction win | 1–3 weeks |
| Export paperwork & port delivery | 2–3 weeks |
| Ocean crossing (Japan → Honolulu) | 3–4 weeks |
| Customs, registration & safety check | 2–3 weeks |
| Delivery to your driveway | ≈ 1 week |
透明性
Transparency note
Vehicles 25+ years old are federally exempt from NHTSA/EPA import restrictions. Kei vans and Jimnys are fully street legal in Hawaiʻi. Flatbed Kei trucks are best suited for farm and local-road use — we'll always tell you straight what a vehicle is and isn't good for.
